Even if you had the time-machine sort of foresight, or hindsight-foresight, I think the only sane way to be involved in/take advantage of bitcoin would have been to get in near the beginning, then gradually sell your coins off starting from the earliest time they started getting real publicity.

when Sam made this thread it was already too late

the problem with the time machine scenario is that your interference could have easily disrupted the precarious chain of events that lead to people actually valuing this crap, especially if you started too soon, plus there would be way bigger things that you could do to stir things up in advantageous ways than simply fleecing libertarians and speculators on bits_________________butts

Wait, wait, wait... are you saying that online bookies dealing in unregulated pseudomoney where they can make up literally all the rules may just be doing it to take the money of addicts?
